The Debt and Slavery.

To the editor of the Alexandria Gazette
Apropos Of the Virginia debt question
which has repeatedly and emphaticalIy
been declared TO be eliminated from pol
i,ics," it appears to resemble the famous
ghost which would not down; or, perhap
more closely, a certain question which
troubled the country for many years; aud
although it is said, Politicians fondIy
dreamed they bad, in current phraseoogy,
reached a fnality on this vexed quarrel,
grave doubts found expression, none per.
haps more forcibly than in the following
newspaper epigram, describing
FINALITY.
ITO kill twice dead a rettlesnake,
And off his scaly skin to take,
And through his head to drive a stake,
And every bone within him break,
And Of his tesh mncemcat to make
To burn, to scar, TO boil ard bake,
Then in heap the whole to rake
And over it the Bosom shake,
And sink it fathoms in the lake
Whence, after all, quite wide awake
Comes back that very same old snake r.
When the State debt shall be settled a.
decidedly as the old question OF slavery has
been, may it not be as difficult to find any
ore who had not thought all along that the
debt should be honestly paid, as it now is
to discover man who does not confess that
he is glad slavery no longer exists.

bers favored Doyle. The members
from Brooklyn aided Mr.. Muller in
hts efforts to elect Sheehan, but they
were careful to explain that they sup
ported Sheehan because he defeated
in the assembly last winter the Brook
lyn ring, whose corruption was ex-
posed to republican members of the
legislature. An hour before the com
mittee met it became obvious that
Sheehan was beaten. Charles T. Ia
Dor, his new partner, who is a candi-
date for attorney-general, advised
him to abandon the contest. Tabor
had been advised that Sheehan's de-
feat would injure his own chances of
obtaining the nomination, but Shee-
han was obstinate, hot-headed, and
refused to withdraw. His obstinacy
did much harm to Gov Hill. When
they came to vote, after sharp con-
test, Sheehan was beaten out of sight.
Robert I. Lincoln stated in regard
to the use of his name as candidate
on the republican ticket: Il certain
ly should not accept the nomination
for vice president were it rendered to
me. As to being a candidate for

name in connection win any public

the average American to understand
that is possible for any man not to

of it. / can remember the tremen-
dous burden father was called upon
to bear. I have seen enough of the
inside of Washington official life to
have lost all desire for it. The pres
idential office is but gilded prison.
Its cares and worry Outweigh the
honor which surrounds the position.
I don't think there is any likelihood
of my receiving the nomination The
men who make the ticket would hard
ly do so without exacting certain
pledges and those pledges I would

The announcement that the Duke

America, reminds that until recently
be was government pensiOner to the
tame oil $25,O00 a year The select
committee of the English house Of
commons, in 4 recent report on the
subject Of hereditary pensions, takes
the ground that all such grants should
be limited to the persons actually
rendering the service, and that all
existing perpetual pensions, ali her~
eaitary offices should be abolished.
Some years ago q rate of commuta-
ton was adopted of twenty-sevan
years purchase, and under this pro :
sison the pension to the Duke of
Marlborough was committed, but one
OF sinilal amount to the heirs of
Lord Nelson is still in force, despite

the victor OF Blsnheim, left no Iegiti-
